Top The Cupcake

I first tried Top the Cupcake at the Unilocal Garden Party and what a delight!
Like Laura D. I am a bit fussy too and have struggled to find cupcakes that have the right icing to cupcake ratio. I have tasted quite a few and I’m disappointed to say that even the most successful cafes of Perth, producing magically decadent cupcakes, if it contains more icing than actually cupcake, you have it wrong my friends.
I agree that the balance is hard to find and I voiced my concerns to the lovely Tina and she helped me choice one which would suit my tastes. I ended up having the chocolate sponge with butter-​cream icing and the balance was amazing! Soft and light sponge with a decent amount of icing that wasn’t overwhelming. Is this perfection?

I love cake. There’s no denying it.
But I’m pretty fussy about not only taste, but texture and sponge to icing ratio too, especially in the cupcake department.
I’ve only tried Top The Cupcakes vanilla variety, but boy was it phenomenal. A dense vanilla sponge topped with whipped butter-​cream icing. Better than a cupcake from Magnolia’s Bakery in NY.
